Owner of Chateau Gruaud Larose, Jean Merlaut has not yet released the pricing for his 2011 vintage, but in our exclusive video he reveals his opinions to Millesima. With the particularities of canopy management and the effects of the Landes Forest, this Second Growth from Saint Julian was rated 89-91 by Robert Parker.

It’s true that we were afraid to over-extract, but in fact this is not the case. The wine is round, flexible, creamy, with a very tight framework, it is an elegant wine. There are vintages like 2000 or 2003 that are seductive, but here we have a vintage of high class, made just by nature.

Several formats of Chateau Gruaud Larose 2011 will be available from Millesima USA by the case!
